Does Anyone Feel That Most Of Their Seizures Are Caused By Stress.

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Lewisburg, WV

I had a strong feeling on Saturday that almost went into at least an aura and I know it was caused by the stress from my job. I was treated like I did something wrong and they made me do what I hate to do. I was making a face and she told me not to be making that face at her. It was me holding my stress back. I felt my face change color and my heart pounding. I’m tired of always holding my stress back whether it be work or parents, who I don’t live with anymore, I just go to spend the weekend at… read more

I agree with all the replies. Especially yours Sean2. When I was in school I had seizures a lot and was in the nurse’s office multiple times a week. I think it’s mostly my job which most of the people have mental disabilities and get irritating and how I can’t get my vns replaced because my parents don’t think it worked. I think it did, but they think just because I had seizures, it didn’t work. I thought it worked decently because I got a feeling and swiped the magnet and the feeling went away. It’s all of that and not having my own life in some ways.

Stress can definitely cause seizures. I highly recommend you viewing “Clint Ober’s” story on earthing.com. Plus you can easily view his FULL documentary along with scientist on YouTube. Simply type in Clint Ober Earthing Grounding in research of YouTube. Take care.

Not really sure. Which came first, chicken or the egg? I appreciate the question.

My parents know about the rns but don’t want me to have any other surgery on my head because I had a cyst when I was a toddler and had it drained then had to have a shunt put in because it filled up again. Plus they drained it just to be safe when I had my first seizure.I then had the shunt replaced 15 years ago, then had it taken out for a week because I got E. coli from the surgery, then it was put back it. So otherwise my parents don’t want me to have surgery on my head anymore.
I felt like the vns helped me a little more after I was taken off one of my meds. I swiped the magnet and lot and the feeling went away. One time in October I had a really strong feeling and swiped it twice over a minute and I didn’t go into anything. They still don’t want me to have it replaced.
Plus another factor is my mom taking me to get it replaced because I would have to go all the way up north or west to have it replaced and I live on opposite sides of the state for both. So it’s just the 3-4 hour drive my mom doesn’t want.
